Friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere made this this a very enjoyable evening. We sat outside with locals enjoying the food and atmosphere and it didn't feel like a tourist trap. This was one of the better places we ate.

We went for lunch. They ordered us to ask 2 dishes and everybody the same payi g 17 eur for dish.We don't recomend this restaurant.Gentile Sig.re non capisco la sua recensione è a cosa si riferisce il termine " ORRIBILE" . Sicuramente non conosce la lingua italiana perciò mi sento di darle un consiglio , prima di scrivere una recensione su una struttura come la nostra che ha dedicato tutta la vita lavorativa ( ormai sono 45 anni ) al servizio del cliente , vada a sfogliare il nostro vocabolario così si renderà conto di cosa vuol dire Orribile . La saluto Cordialmente Il direttore

Nicely situated between the sea and the lake. The view, over one of the canals where they grow various kinds of sea food, is great. The atmosphere pleasant, even with the radio on. Unfortunately, there is only one menu on offer, so one antipasti, one primo piatto and one secundo piatto. The antipasti, a seafood salad, seems to come right out of a can and not from the sea. The starter (risotto) was okay; the main course (sea bream) too salty. Since then we enjoyed many similar but better dishes in different places.

The service of this place is beyond ridiculous, I called for reservations two times and had the reception girl hang up twice! Then I showed up in person and got a notice from he reception that they couldn't take reservations before 1800 - this was 1740! I'm glad I never left my money there.

We (a family of 7 adults and a child of 11) had dinner here. The food and service is of a very high standard. Our party tried many various dishes and everybody was impressed with all the courses. The owner even made two different vinaigrettes and a special spicy sauce for an octopus dish at the table! We were all extremely pleased with our meals and wines and would give this restaurant a Michelin star if we could! You should try to eat here - but unfortunately they close from October-April :(

Letâs start with the positive things. The restaurant is nice. Itâs contemporary but still with Italian style. The menu is comprehensive and focuses on fish and seafood. Everything is made from scratch and is fresh. The pork tenderloin was nice but just a tad too well done. The sword fish was absolutely too well done and therefor dry. Gnocchi with leek and calamari was absolutely stunning. So beautifully well made. The service was very attentive in the beginning but as the restaurant became busier it went downhill. I waited 15 min for my âmirtoâ which was on the house and a nice gesture. Then I was waiting again 15 min on the bill that just didnât came. I went inside myself to pay. Prices are of Western European level so compared to the island on the higher side of the middle. They are on the way to be the best restaurant of Arbatax but the final touches are missing to make good âgreatâ. Itâs just good now. Gentilissimo signor Thijs,la ringrazio per essere stato nostro ospite.Mi rammarica che non sia stato del tutto soddisfatto e che alcuni piatti non abbiano incontrato i suoi gusti.Per quanto riguarda il servizio,la giornata di oggi è stata molto particolare:il locale si è riempito totalmente, tutti gli ospiti sono arrivati contemporaneamente e questo potrebbe aver creato qualche piccolo inconveniente come con il mirto e il conto.Ne prendo atto e le chiedo scusa.La ringrazio per aver visto in noi la possibilità di diventare il miglior ristorante di Arbatax,siamo aperti da un solo anno e questo è per noi un grande augurio.Le auguro una buona giornata.Cordialmente Isabella Cabras

Maybe I should begin with the delightful little chilli plants, in little wooden boxes that decorate each table. After you've been seated, one of the 1st things that happens is that the staff remove the Chilli plant fro your table, because it takes up too much space.The chilli plant is, you see, completely pointless, rather like your visit to this place.Some of the staff are willing but need a bit of training, some of the staff, rather like the chilli plants, are completely pointless and would be better removed. The Manager in his trendy denim shorts and creased shirt and waistcoat looks a mess and is probably the cause of the places problems. There is no system, there is no management. To be sat at a table in a 1/3rd full restaurant and wait over 30 minutes to get served a drink is pathetic. Our waitress was very nice, very slow in taking our order, but she at least got it right. It is such a shame that once she pinned the order on the order board - yes everything Is done manually- no one took any notice of the drinks section. We got some cheese spread and dried bread with olives delivered long before any drinks appeared. Some time later a pathetically small selection of Pistoccu and tiny pieces of bread in a paper bag were literally thrown onto the table from behind us.The menu is somewhat restricted but has a few dishes of interest. I chose the swordfish with Pesto and hazelnuts and a mixed salad. If the (completely tasteless) Swordfish had been cut any thinner it would have qualified as a Carpaccio. The Pesto & Hazelnut added interest but the salad ingredients had been cut well ahead of service and were dried and tough.Coffee was ok, but my double expresso still only just covered the base of the cup.The wine selection is no-where as extensive or as detailed as it was 3 years ago - I think the place has changed hands- but the wines were good and reasonably priced.Our friends footed the bill, for which I'm obviously grateful, but I'd far rather have had a pizza almost anywhere in the area than have endured the pro-longed nonsense, this place dished out to us.I cannot envisage that I would ever visit this place again until it changes hands yet again. Oddly enough, it did get quite busy around 9.30 so it seems that they manage to attract people although whether anyone returns is anyones guess. I have given it a 3 star (average) purely on the basis it was quite comfortable, no one appears to have been poisoned and their micro portions were good for my diet.

We were staying at la Bitta hotel three minutes away and decided to try a cheaper dining option than the hotel restaurant, especially after the receptionist at our previous hotel near Olbia had highly recommended Acquolina.She was right. The restaurant has an extensive a la carte menu, including two pages+ of pizze alone. It has a nice outside terrace. On our second night there we had actually reserved a table outside with a view, however, when we arrived we were seated inside due to the heavy downpours that had occurred earlier in the evening. We were the lucky ones. Dozens and dozens of diners arrived after us only to be turned away â a good sign! The only negative we can attest to are the hard chairs which make long sitting uncomfortable. Bring a cushion (or at least a jumper) to sit on!On our first night, we decided to order the âmenu di degustazioneâ for two people: it consisted of five seafood antipasti (one was warm, a spicy shredded octopus in a dough parcel which was simply excellent; the others were unremarkable but then we donât care that much for cold starters); a first course for me of âSasareddusâ (Sardinian gnocchi) which were delicious, and seafood polenta for my husband which he thoroughly enjoyed. My main course was tuna with a pistachio crust â which was fabulous, only I was so full at this point that I could hardly do it justice and had to send half of it back â what a waste! My husbandâs calamari had a similar fate. Luckily, the lemon sorbet was a very light lemon froth as we could hardly have managed anything more substantial. The entire tasting menu cost 30 euro per person, a complete steal!Our second night at Acquolina also was our last night in Sardinia. We did not want to be too full to travel the next day so opted for pizza (which represented the added benefit of giving us an excellent lunch on our drive to Cagliari airport the next day). We started with Sasareddus di cinghiale (last chance to enjoy those fantastic gnocchi with a wild boar sauce, wow!). I then went for a spicy meat pizza while my husband opted for a smoky bacon version. Both were freshly baked, very tasty and plentiful (hence the âdoggy-bagâ for the following day). We finished with cheesecake and coffee, all for 44 euro. Andrea and his colleagues all provided prompt and very helpful service. Highly recommended!Gentilissima Signora NCVIENNA,non ho parole per la sua splendida e spettacolare recensione , mi lusingano fortemente tutti i VS fantastici pensieri.Sono piacevolmente colpito e contento per i bellissimi apprezzamenti sui nostri piatti, che come vedo vi hanno letteralmente catturato.Ancor di più leggere della doppia visita in soli due giorni . Vorrei fare un ringraziamento speciale al receptionist che vi ha parlato ed indirizzato verso la nostra struttura, non posso che esprimerle tutta la mia simpatia e cordialità e con la speranza di poterlo avere come mio ospite nella nostra fantastica Ogliastra. Un doppio ringraziamento di tutto cuore va a Lei e suo marito, per averci scelto tra le tante strutture presenti qui nella baia di Porto Frailis, tutte meritevoli ed eccellenti e ancora di più per averci permesso di poter essere stati i "protagonisti indiscussi" della chiusura delle vostra meravigliosa vacanza in Sardegna.

Had dinner at La Bitta and got a table at the front row of the semi open restaurant - 5 meters from the sea. Next to the really nice setting La Bitta is a bit more upscale place than most osterie and locande in the area (including a nice winelist featuring mainly sardinian wines, but not only). The antipasti and primi were excellent, my main (tuna entrecote) was average. We had a blanc de noir from Cannonau named Bionda and indeed was a bella bionda.

We had a lovely meal in this restaurant. The bar for pre-dinner drinks lacked atmosphere and views but the dinner itself more than made up for that. Service was exceptionally good. The restaurant was buzzing with happy customers and we had delicious food, especially the beef tagliata and the creative desserts. This was the best meal we ate in our two weeks in Sardinia and it is worth seeking out if in this area.
